Thank you all for your support of and love for Route One Fun! From a wee blog that started with just a couple of subscribers to a hyperlocal website that even folks in DC talked about ;), I’ve been both tickled and humbled by its success. I look forward to spreading the good word on a larger scale now with the Arts & Heritage Division of the Prince George’s County Department of Parks & Recreation!

(And this is where the veering-into-creepyland anthropomorphizing will stop.)

And Yolanda Rivera-Quintanilla was right.
